His Stand
by in-umbra
Summary: After his failed attempt of turning Spinel good, Steven must find a way to fix Beach City and find Spinel to try and turn her good once again. What Steven doesn't know, however, is that he is biting off more than he could chew. How will this affect Steven physically and mentally? Will Spinel continue her rein of chaos? (AU starting at the end of the SUM)
1. A Broken City

**A/N: hello everyone! I am here with a Steven Universe AU. I'm new to the SU fanfiction writing, so I probably won't always have the characters in character. If I don't, please let me know. Anyway, I've seen numerous AUs including a mixture of the movie and SUF...well I'm also doing that, and I really hope mine isn't copying any AUs.** **If you're new to my account, note that I respond to reviews within the next chapter. But since there aren't any this chapter, let's go ahead and begin!**

**I own nothing of SU**

* * *

One minute everything was perfect. The next everything turned into chaos. I've done everything I could to try to save the earth. Save my friends. Save Spinel. I was able to do 2 out of 3 of those things. I was able to save everyone on earth, and save my friends...but Spinel...

I had my back turned for one second, and if it wasn't for Connie's screams, I don't even know if I would even be alive. As soon as I turned around, Spinel tried hitting me with the end of the broken rejuvinator.

I was able to get away from Spinel with some minor injuries, but after she escaped as soon as she was about to be overpowered by the Crystal Gems, she only brought more chaos.

Beach City is a disaster and because of her constant chaos, I can't do anything right now to fix Beach City. The only thing I can do right now is find Spinel and stop her rein of chaos.

After all...I'm the one responsible for cleaning up what my mom started.

* * *

I leaned over the rail at the house as I stared at what remained of the sea. The liquid that was in the injector was still all over Beach City and in the ocean. Two weeks ago, everything was perfectly normal. Everything was fine. Now everything is a mess. I can't even heal the earth because of the liquid. Spinel must've put something in the pink bio-poison. Either that or she somehow keeps bringing more disaster.

Ever since that day, I've been looking for her. I'm hoping to find a lead. All I'm doing right now, is looking all over and outside of Beach City. I've even tried looking in mom's garden; nothing. Has she ever seen me? If she did, why hasn't she attacked me yet? I guess I've always been with Lion when I look.

The gems don't think it's a good idea that I'm in charge of finding Spinel while they disassemble her injector. They fear I'll get hurt or even killed, but I think this is for the best. I could try talking to her again. She's just hurting, so yelling at her isn't going to fix anything.

"Steven?"

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked over to see Connie walking up the steps. I smiled at her as I walked over towards the steps.

"Hey Connie! How have you been?"

"It's been going alright. Helping to clean Beach City and all that."

"How well is that going?"

I can see her flinch, but it was slight. I can tell already that there still hasn't been much improvement.

"We're getting there," she says with a reassuring smile. "So, how well are things going for the gems taking care of the injector?"

I look over to see that the injector was only about a quarter of the way apart.

"We're...getting there. It was bigger than we thought. Hopefully it won't take a very long time to take it apart."

I looked back at Connie to see her giving me a frown as if debating to ask me something else. I think I have an idea of what she wants to ask. It's about-.

"Well...what about Spinel? Have you found her yet?"

I sigh. How'd I know she was going to ask that?

"Not yet. Lion and I are still looking for her."

"If you want, I can help you."

I frowned at her. If Spinel is still emotionally unstable, what are the chances she'll get hurt? I don't want that to happen.

"That's ok, Connie. Everyone else will need your help to clean up Beach City."

"Everyone is helping to pitch in so I'm sure they wouldn't mind if I help you. Besides, you're doing this alone and you're gonna need someone to help."

I should've known she would be stubborn. This isn't good. I need to convince her not to go with me.

"I'm not alone. I have Lion with me to back me up. Besides, everyone in Beach City would really need help cleaning up."

"Steven...you've been at this for a few weeks and you haven't had any leads as far as we know. If I help you out, we can cover more ground."

I hate that she has a good point...but I still can't allow it. After everything that happened, I can't afford for anyone to get hurt. Mom was the one who hurt Spinel, and now it's my responsibility to fix it...again.

"You can come inside and help me try to find a lead, but...I don't feel comfortable if you came along."

She looked both glad and disappointed.

"How come I can't go with you?"

"It's because, as I said, you'll be needed here. I'll take care of Spinel."

She frowned, but looked like she finally understood the situation.

"Ok, deal. So should we go take a look at what you have so far?"

I smiled at her, part of me feeling relieved that she isn't pushing it anymore.

"Sure. Let's go!"

She smiled as we started to walk inside. I only hope that she won't get involved in actually trying to find Spinel. We walked in the house and I led her up to my room. Thanks to the wall the gems put up, no one can see how much of a mess my room is. It's scattered with papers and different points of where Spinel could possibly be.

"Wow Steven...you've really been searching, haven't you?"

I could feel my face turn red with embarrassment, and I think Connie noticed.

"Hey, no need to be embarrassed. We do need to find her after all. So, what points do you have so far?"

I looked around my room to see where I left off. I found the build board that's near my bed and walked over. Connie wasn't too far behind me as she also walked over to look at the board. I studied the board for a few moments, before Connie spoke up.

"So, do you think she's still in Beach City at all?"

"It's hard to tell," I say without turning to her. "She's constantly moving. I could be looking somewhere else and she could be in Beach City. The frustrating part is, she can be unpredictable, so I can't pinpoint on where she could possibly be."

"You said she could've been in Beach City. How would that even be possible? If she really did come to Beach City, wouldn't any of us see her?"

I turn to her. "Maybe she knows we're all looking for her. That's why she would try to stay away from us."

"Steven, you're not making any sense. She hates us. She hates you. Wouldn't she come to finish us off?"

"Maybe she's getting time to think. Maybe she thinks this isn't a good idea. Maybe-."

"If she really was, would she still be creating chaos?"

I sigh. "I really don't know. I just want to find her so I can talk to her and hopefully try to get through to her."

"And if she doesn't?"

"Well...I'll keep trying. I was able to do it once, I can do it again."

Connie walked closer to me.

"And how do you know she won't betray her again?"

"Again?"

"Don't you remember? She looked like she was going to trust you but the moment you had your back turned, she almost impaled you with the rejuvinator you broke!"

I flinched slightly at the memory. The look of horror on Connie's face, the look of hatred on Spinel's face. I don't know what would've happened if Connie either noticed too late or not at all, and I really don't want to know.

"I'm sorry Steven. It's just...I don't want you to get hurt. Seeing you almost get seriously hurt or even killed back there…"

I smiled as I faced her.

"I promise I'll be ok. I won't get hurt."

"You promise?"

I grabbed her hand. "I promise. Just as long as you promise you'll be ok and you don't do anything reckless."

She giggles. "I promise."

Her attention then goes back to the board and I turn to look at it as well.

"So, do you have an idea where she could be at?" Connie asked.

I stared at the board, trying to once analyze where I left off.

"Hmmmm...well I think I should try the next town over next. There could be a chance she might be there. I'll probably head over there tomorrow to check it out."

Connie frowns. "And you're sure you don't want me to go with you?"

"Yea...you're needed here. Besides, I feel like she'll try to listen to me. I'm not sure if she'll listen if there are too many people."

She didn't look like she didn't like my response, but she reluctantly nodded.

"Ok I guess...but please, _please_ let me know if you have any trouble."

I smile at her. "I will."

A buzz suddenly filled the air and Connie chuckled.

"Sorry, that's my phone. Just a sec."

She pulled out her phone as she glanced at what the text said before sighing.

"Sorry Steven. I gotta go. They found a place to clean up and they need as many people as they can get. Are you sure you're going to be ok?"

"Yup! I got this! Now go ahead and do your thing!"

She smiles. "Alright. See you later Steven!"

"Bye Connie!"

We both waved at each other before I sighed and looked back at the board. I hope I'm right about her location. I could use some good news of anything really. Maybe I can send Lion away after I reach my location. Maybe she would feel better if it was just me and her alone. It doesn't hurt to try.

After all, this is my job; and my job alone.

**A/N: that's it for the first chapter! What do you guys think? I would like to say this story would mainly be in Steven's POV, but there will be other times will it'll either be in someone else's POV or in third person. But that's all I have to say for the beginning chapter. Please leave any comments and/or constructive criticism you may have and I'll see you guys in the next chapter! Buh bye!:)**


	2. Another morning

**A/N: hey guys I'm alive! Yes I know it took me some time to write out chapter two but there are reasons why. When I posted the story, I was sick so I had to get over that. There was that plus school and writer's block. I'm not really the best at staying motivated at the beginning of stories, but I promise the story will get better and more intense as it goes along so just stay with me. Anyway, since there aren't any reviewers, let's go ahead and get on with the story.**

**Quick note: a lot of this story will be in Steven's POV, but whenever I put "Steven's P.O.V." at the beginning of a chapter, that means it will be in more than just Steven's POV. Some chapters may or may not include Steven, so I will put said character's perceptive in the story.**

**Anyway, enjoy the chapter!**

**I own nothing of SU**

* * *

Steven's P.O.V.

I jerked awake as my alarm went off. I looked over towards my phone and grabbed it to turn the alarm off. 7:05am. I sometimes forget I set my alarm earlier than usual every couple of days. It gives me more daylight to look for Spinel. I'm getting close to 6am, which is good. I might aim for 5am, but I haven't decided yet. Alright Steven, you can do it. I stretch as I sit up and get ready for the day. The gems are probably out trying to take care of the injector. That would be good so I can get started on today.

I headed down the stairs and went to go grab something from the fridge so I'll at least have something in my stomach to hold me over for a while. The sound of the warp startled me as I jumped slightly as I turned to see Amethyst appearing on it. Why is she here, and where is everyone else? As I closed the fridge, holding some yogurt, her attention went to me.

"Hey man!" she exclaims as she jumps off the warp and walks towards me. "What's up?"

I smile. "Just having a bite to eat before Lion and I continue our search for Spinel. What are you guys doing?"

"Ah ya know, taking a break from taking apart from the injector."

"Oh yea? How's that going?"

"Eh, we're getting there. Still got a while to go."

I nodded as I took a bite of my yogurt.

"So, have you found Spinel yet?"

I sigh. "Not yet. I'm hoping to at least get somewhere today.

"Well...I would be careful. She's unpredictable you know."

"Yea, I know."

The only thing that filled the air at that moment, was me eating the yogurt. After a few moments, Amethyst spoke up again.

"You know, it's been a while since we've relaxed and hung out. How about we do that tonight when you get back?"

I frown as I look back outside at the mess in Beach City. What Amethyst just said sounds great, but...can we even afford that luxury?

"Steven, that mess is going to be there tomorrow. Come on man, it'll just be one night. I'll tell Pearl and Garnet about it too! Maybe I can get everyone else in too!"

I look outside again. It would be nice to relax for once, but I can list a million things that can go wrong if we stop.

"I'll...think about it."

She gives me a small smile. "Awesome!"

I finished up my yogurt and threw it away.

"I should really get going. Tell everyone else I said hi."

"Will do! Good luck Steven!"

"Thanks Amethyst!"

I walked out the door and found Lion laying in the sand. Guess he got too cramped in the house again. I took a deep breath before I walked down the stairs.

"Alright Lion, let's get going."

Lion opened his eyes as he yawned and stretched. He stared at me for a few moments before kneeling down and letting me crawl on his back.

"Thanks bud. Now let's go."

Lion roared as a portal opened and we went through it. We appeared in a rundown town just about...an hour away from Beach City. I slid off of Lion's back and looked around. Gee, it looks like Spinel did a number on this place. Either the town was already like this, or Spinel did it.

"Hey Lion. I want you to look elsewhere. We might be able to cover more ground. Meet me back here in an hour if you don't find Spinel, alright?"

Lion stares at me for a few moments before roaring and running through another portal. I took a deep breath as I began walking through town. Man, this place really is trashed. Buildings were destroyed, statues were knocked over.

Even though the buildings looked like they were on fire, I could see very little specs of the bio-poison in some areas. The only way that's possible is if Spinel somehow still had some of the bio-poison with her and spread it all over some towns. I don't want to know what she could've done.

I continued my walk for a good 20 minutes or so. The only thing I could find were abandoned buildings. Some of them were either burnt, destroyed, or abandoned. I wonder what this town was like, and I hope everyone who lives here is ok.

I sigh as I look up to continue looking, when I notice something in the distance. I couldn't make it out from where I stood, but it looked to be a silhouette of something...or someone.

I narrowed my eyes before they grew impossibly wide.

Wait a second...could that be…

* * *

Connie's P.O.V.

The time was 8:03am. It was about time I got out and continued to clean up the city. I walked into the kitchen and tried to find something to eat. I didn't see mom or dad anywhere so I can only assume they went to work early. We all have our own jobs after all.

Speaking of jobs, I wonder how the gems are doing with the injector. And Steven...has he left to find Spinel yet? Maybe I can stop by his house after I help clean up here. I walked out of my house and started heading down the streets.

As I walked down the streets, the first person I saw was Jenny. She looked at me as she smiled and walked down the streets to meet me.

"Goooood morning Connie!"

I smile. "Morning Jenny. How are you today?"

"Ah you know. Same old same old. Ready to get to work?"

"Yea. Where are we cleaning up today?"

"Funland. Gunga said there's a bunch of that pink stuff there that we can help clean up."

"I think Steven said it was called bio-poison or something like that."

"I really don't think the name of it matters. Honestly it's just annoying having to clean this up rather than doing something more fun."

I looked down. "Yea…"

A tense silence went through us as we made our way to Funland.

"Hey, you ok? You seem kind of down."

I look up at Jenny. "Yea. It's just...I've been worrying about Steven lately. He's been looking for that gem the last few weeks. He told me yesterday he can do it alone but...I don't know. Everyone's been working in groups and he's been searching alone."

A silence went by between us before Jenny sighs.

"I'm sure he has a reason to go alone. Besides, I'm sure if he really does need help, he'll let the gems know or he'll let you know."

I didn't want to tell her about Steven's stubborn nature. He would try to get things done alone. I think it's best to leave it at that for now.

"Yea, I guess you're right. Let's just worry about doing our part."

She smiles as she punches my shoulder.

"That's the spirit!"

We continued our walk to Funland. I looked around to see large chunks of the bio-poison spread all around. There were already people starting to try to clean up the bio-poison.

"Let's head to the arcade. Gunga said our gear is in there," Jenny tells me.

I nodded. "Alright."

We walked to the arcade to find a line of chemical suits lined up for us to take and grab so we can safely clean up the mess. The chemical suits were made so we can't really be harmed by the bio-poison.

It isn't like we can jump in a huge pile of the bio-poison, but we can touch it without getting harmed by it. There were several times Peridot and/or Bismuth came over to make sure they actually were safe to use.

Based on what I heard, Steven tried lifting the injector once and some of the bio-poison hit his jacket and that part of his jacket and evaporated onto his skin.

Mr. Universe's arm also got hit with it and he couldn't use his arm until Steven healed it. It makes sense if the gems and everyone else is skeptical of handling it. My guess is when the injector is gone, the rest of the gems will help out.

Jenny and I got on our suits and headed out to try and help. Jenny told me she was going to head towards the ferris wheel. I decided to head to the roller coaster. That seems to be the place with the least amount of people. I made my way over and got to work.

We worked on Funland until we decided to take a break around noon. We were going to meet again at 3 and work until 6 or 7. It really depends on how much we get done. I decided to use this time to make my way to Steven's house. I wonder if he's back yet.

I walked over to Steven's house and was there within a few minutes. When I got there, I looked up on the cliff to see a little bit of a quarter of the injector gone. However, I didn't see anyone up there. Either they are up there and I can't see them or they decided to take a break as well.

I walked up to the door and made my way in to see the gems talking to each other. I didn't see Bismuth, Lapis, and Peridot anywhere so I'm assuming they're either elsewhere or at the injector. For all I know, they could be hanging out in the bathroom...or at least Peridot.

"Uh...hey guys," I say.

The gems stopped and turned to me.

"Oh, hello there Connie," Pearl said.

"What up dude?" Amethyst said.

"Hey guys," I smile before taking a look around the room.

"What are you looking for?" Pearl asked.

Before I could answer her question, Garnet spoke up.

"If you're looking for Steven, he's still out."

"Oh. Well uh...do you know when he'll be back?"

Garnet looked up to see the time.

"Shouldn't be too much longer. He usually comes back for lunch before heading back out."

"You can hang out with us until he gets back!" Amethyst smiles she threw an arm around my shoulder.

I guess since he won't be too much longer, hopefully, I can hang out. Besides, I'm curious of how the dismantle of the injector is going.

"Alright. I guess I can hang out. Besides, I want to know about how you guys are doing with taking apart the injector."

Immediately the gems looked like they were about to share some juicy secret. Oh boy, why do I feel like this was a bad idea?

Whatever the case may be at the moment, I really hope Steven's ok.

* * *

**A/N: alrighty that is it for this chapter! As I said, I'm trying to get the hang of these characters and how they should act so just stay with me on this. There probably will be times where it'll be more than just Steven and Connie telling the story, but I'm still working that part out. Anyway guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter! If you have any comments and/or constructive criticism, please let me know. I hope to see you guys in the next chapter! Buh bye!:)**


	3. An Unsurprising Visitor

**A/N: hey everyone! Sorry that this chapter is so late! I found out about the new SUF episodes and got excited and was and still am preparing for the upcoming episodes! I hope you guys enjoyed last night's episodes and hope to see how the story ends. Yes I made that reference. Anyway, since there are still no reviews to go over, let's get on with the story!**

**I own nothing of SU**

* * *

_*few hours ago*_

I stared intensely at the silhouette of whatever is over there, debating if I should walk over there. It's very hard to see, but my only conclusion is that it's Spinel. This town looks long abandoned so I doubt anyone still lives here. It isn't Lion because he wouldn't try sneaking up on me. That and the fact that I doubt it's been an hour since he left.

Not knowing what to say, I took a breath and then a step towards the silhouette. My heart starts beating a little faster. If it really is Spinel, what do I say to her? What will she say to me? Will she try to attack me. Ok Steven...just calm down. It'll be fine. As I started to get closer, I finally found my voice.

"S-Spinel?"

There was no reaction or movement from her. I took another shaky breath as I walked closer.

"Spinel?"

I received the same reaction as I got even closer.

"Spinel, come on we-."

I stopped when I was close enough to see the actual shape. It wasn't Spinel; it was garbage that was shaped like Spinel. Wait a minute, why is there...oh no. I started looking around frequently for Spinel. If this garbage statue is here, surely Spinel isn't too far away.

"Spinel!" I called out. "I know you're here! Please come out! We can talk this out!"

I was only greeted by silence. I stood still for a few minutes before deciding to keep moving. That doesn't mean I'll let my guard down. As I continued my walk, I quickly felt like something was watching me. I constantly looked over my shoulder for anything, but there was nothing. I guess I was so lost in thought because the sudden portal opening made me jump at least 5 feet. I looked over to see Lion exit the portal. Has it been an hour already?

"Hey buddy. Any sign on Spinel?"

He roars as he slightly shakes his head.

"Yea, I thought not. No luck here either. Ready to head over to the next town?"

Lion kneels down in front of me as an answer. I once again crawled on his back.

"Alright, let's get going."

He roars as a portal appears and we both go through it. The next town was a little better than the last one. It's a pretty small town with very few people. It doesn't look like this town has been touched, but that can possibly change. Everyone is going about their business so I doubt they even know. Unless Spinel does attack them, it isn't worth having them get scared over something that might not happen.

"Let's head further away from the town. It won't do us any good if we draw any attention to ourselves."

Lion seemed to understand when he started running further towards a meadow. We went through the same process again. Lion leaves for another hour while I walked around trying to find any traces of Spinel. I occasionally walked back towards the town to see if Spinel touched it, but there was nothing different. The same thing happened. After an hour, Lion came back to pick me up. No luck.

We kept this up for several more hours. Go to a town, look separately, and then not find luck and repeat. I once again couldn't find Spinel in a town that looked just as abandoned as the first town we visited, only it didn't look as destroyed. Lion came through his portal and looked at me. Judging by the look on his face, I'm assuming he didn't find her.

"Nothing?" I sigh. "Alright, let's-.

I was suddenly cut off by my own stomach growling. I pulled out my phone and looked at the time. 12:05pm. Oh geez, where did the time go?

"Ok buddy, how about we head back home for a quick lunch break. We can continue to look for her afterwards, alright?"

Lion looks at me before he starts kneeling down for me to crawl on, when we suddenly heard a voice.

"Well, well, well. Giving up so soon are we?"

I froze and turned my head to see _her_ walking up to us.

"Spinel…" I muttered

Lion growled as he started to walk in front of me, but I stopped him.

"Easy boy. Can you leave us alone for a few minutes?" When Lion gave me a certain look, I sighed. "I'll be fine."

He rolls his eyes as he stepped away. As soon he was out of sight, I took a deep breath and faced Spinel.

"Spinel...it's been a while since we've last seen each other."

"Well maybe for you perhaps. I've been keeping my eye on you for quite a while, Steven Universe."

I looked at her in shock. "What?"

"I've seen you around for quite a while. I even saw when you discovered that trash statue of me. I was waiting to see if you would find me."

"Wait so...you've seen me several times before? How come you've never shown yourself?"

"I simply wanted to play hide and seek. You know, you're not very good at this. It got boring after a while."

I stared at her, not really knowing what to say. She then slowly walked towards me and stopped within a few feet away from me.

"So what is it that you want from me, Mr. Universe? Are you gonna try to use me again to try and get me to stop this? That's all you've ever done Universe!"

"I just want to talk. We can just talk this out. We don't have to fight."

She stares at me before sighing. "Talk."

"Spinel, I understand that you're hurting. After what mom did to you and a lot of other people...I understand that you're mad with her. But please, don't take it out on other people. They haven't done anything wrong. You can start over with us. I can talk to the gems again and tell them everything is chill."

"Heh. You say that like it'll be so easy."

"Huh?"

"You really expect me to believe you that easily?! Well think again, Universe! I know you're only here to clean up the mess so you can live a good old _happily ever after_ right?! Do you really expect to believe everything you say?! The moment everything is fixed, you're just going to abandon me, isn't that right?!"

She stepped closer and I can sense the anger radiating off of her. I took a step back as she stepped closer.

"Spinel, it may seem like that, but trust me it isn't. Yes I do want you to fix everything and we'll help, but trust me when I say I do want you to stay around with us. We can stop this now and start over."

She looks at me, and I'm hoping and praying that she'll believe me. I'm telling her the truth, and I fear that the longer she waits, the harder it'll be for everyone to forgive her. If I bring her now, I can try to talk to the others and we can end all this. I just need her to agree and believe me so we can head back together.

Spinel starts laughing. "You really expect me to believe your lies, Universe?! You're just going to bring me back and then stab me in the back like last time!"

"What? N-no! That's not what I-!"

"I'm done with your lies!"

She took a few more steps towards me, before stopping with her eyes widen. She stared at me for a few seconds before her glare returned.

"You're afraid of me! I knew you were lying!"

"What?"

I looked around before my right arm caught my eye. My eyes grew wide with shock as I noticed that my shield had been summoned. When did I summon it? Was it out of instinct? I quickly made it disappear before looking back up at Spinel.

"Spinel, I swear, I didn't even notice I had it out!"

"Yea sure!" she stretches her arm out, grabbed my shirt, and yanked me towards her. "I saw the way you drew out your shield! You almost looked ready to defend yourself! I mean look at you! You look scared of me right now!"

"Spinel, you have to believe me! I really do want to help you! I don't want you to be down this math anymore! Spinel, please!"

She glares at me, but I can feel her hand trembling as she clutched my shirt. I was about to continue, when I suddenly saw Lion jump in and managed to get Spinel to let go of my shirt. The both of us stumbled back and I looked up to see Lion protectively standing in front of me.

"Lion, I told you to-!

"Oh ho ho so that's how it's gonna be, Universe?! Fine then!" she starts to back up. "Next time I won't go so easy on you!"

"S-Spinel, wait!" I shouted after her, but she was already gone.

I sigh as I looked back to Lion.

"I appreciate you trying to hell Lion, but maybe don't be so sudden next time, ok?"

Lion roared slightly as I looked back at the way Spinel left. I sighed as my stomach growled again.

"We can try to find her again after lunch. Let's head back."

I climbed on Lion as he roared and we went through the portal. We exited the portal just right outside the house. I slipped off Lion and started to head towards the house.

"Hey guys," I say as I walked in. "How are-?"

"Steven!"

I looked over to see Connie looking at me wide eyed. Wait...what is she doing here?

* * *

**A/N: annnnnd that's it! I was gonna go longer but I figured I keep the theme for this one so yea. I promise you guys if you think the story is boring now, it will pick up soon hopefully. Anyway guys, if you have any comments and/or constructive criticism, please let me know and I will see you guys in the next chapter! Buh bye!:)**
